I'm so glad I'm not the only one! It's so deeply ingrained in my vocabulary and I'd entirely forgotten that it originated from a fucking Homestuck comic
I’ve had a picture of Eridan from one of your elevatorstuck vids as my older brother’s picture on my phone since 2015. Like he has a kid now but he’s still Eridan on my phone
Oh thank god we got around to addressing Elevatorstuck and the hands comic. Ye ol' classics that actually got me to continue reading Homestuck back then so I could meet the trolls.
I legit just two days ago was talking about old youtubers id watch in middle school and was like “Remember octopimp homestuck”. God guess we all was feeling that vibe
Even now as I am 24 years old, your Homestuck comic dubs still have a dear place in my heart. Especially the "Harold, they're on the roof again!" one. x)
Honest to god, you're still whose voices I imagine the characters having, for the most part, especially the trolls you voiced. Your Equius, Gamzee, Tavros, Sollux and Eridan were all flawless, and you were a great Dave too, and don't let anyone tell you any different. Furthermore, you don't need to be ashamed of these videos. You made so many people happy with them, a lot of them still hold up, and it's obvious that you had fun making them--don't let the internet's obsession with calling everything "cringe" convince you that having had anything to do with Homestuck is something to be embarrassed about and you have to retroactively view Homestuck content in a more negative light.
I remember those days. At the time, I was VERY young, and roleplayed Homestuck on Google Plus and UA-cam comments. Though, something I remembered above all that was that Octo had subbed to my channel, and I was never sure why. Regardless, it's great that you've evolved, as many of us hopefully have, just as I changed from a young teen roleplaying Homestuck, to a slightly less young teen saying horrible cancelable things because that's what I and many others found funny at the time, to a semi-irregular shitposter. You made my day all that time ago, Octo. I hope you have an even better one than I did.
I think it holds up a whole lot better as a "whole" then the HS stuff. most of its comedy suffers from being like more "outdated" than anything else and that one monologue from naggisa about the fetishization of gay men makes up for most of that.
legit these videos fucking raised and nurtured me, it was the SOLE reason i got into Homestuck; had i not seen your old Homestuck videos, i'd be less of a pitiful weakling nerd than i am now, and frankly that's a boring ass life i do not wish to live nor comprehend and process i thank you for that
i still relate to the sheer unbridled panic at the visual of anything Homestuck related taking place in public though, unless it's just cosplay at a con, that shit tends to be INCREDIBLY embarrassing, i still get lowkey nervous when i wear my Terezi-styled jacket out when it's the lightest jacket i've got
I started homestuck when I was 11, I was too young to understand what I was getting into. I was 100% an unsupervised child on the internet I am now 21 and still here. Thanks for the great memories Octo
These were great for the time, I loved watching these while i was reading homestuck. It really was content for the times. These will also always be permanently how i hear the characters forever
Its fun to look back and reminisce on things. I'm glad you made that content and I still watch some of them from time to time. Homestuck was quite literally one of the only fandoms I ever was/am apart of and your stuff really brought my friend group together. Dont be ashamed, rejoice, for you made so many of us smile.
Thank you for sharing your shame, Mr. Pimp. I only just learned about Homestuck this past week and between you and SarahZ, I've learned a great deal while still feeling like I don't really "know" what Homestuck is.
I want you to know back when I was reading Homestuck I most definitely matched the characters with your voice and that's how I perceived it. Thank you for making something I love come to life.
Pretty sure the reason people made Bro like anime is because of the glasses and behaviours being similar to Kamina from Gurren Lagann, Another shared spot could be the original Pokémon Squirtle having THE exact same glasses.
Homestuck will always be a massive part of my core and tbh I’ll always regret not being able to participate more because lack of money made things in accessible. Your content helped me to feel like a part of the community so even if you cringe now I still appreciate all you and the HS VA community did.
Even before playing this video i could just feel this overwhelming miasma of cringe radiating from it, i pray for everyone to survive this ordeal of a video.
Homestuck was and is a fantastic work of fiction. It had elements of great maturity and tackled a lot of it well and in a fluid way. I wish Hussie didn't become an Eboy though
I just finished showing all of 50% to a friend I made a few years ago during my undergrad college years and this video feels like a fucking time machine to a decade ago when I was in literal middle school. Your content will forever be genuis man
I remember getting an autograph from you at NDK 2011 when i was a teenager lmao. My friends and i LOVED your HS stuff. Mf legend, man. We got pics with you dressed as god tier Hussie!
Bro just looks like an anime nerd though, so that's probably the reason. I remember like, binging these videos in high school, and it's a trip to go back through them
@@ElFreakinCid waaaaay way years ago (before the mspa forum was destroyed), i believe the project leads were pulling folks over for character voice auditions? 2015ish i think
Hi, sorry for replying to a three year old comment, but I agree. I'm a new Homestuck fan and I enjoyed seeing these videos for the first time. They make me happy, and I believe that Octopimp was genuinely talented with giving these characters voices. The only thing I regret is not being born earlier so I could enjoy the fandom when it was at its peak. In 2012, I was only 8 years old and unaware of all of this. In any case, I'm having a good time getting into the comic and the fandom. :)
@sprinkles2578 lol i dont remember making this comment but its probably still true. I personally never partook in the fandom but still had lots of fun on my own! Not to mention im sure theres active people today. I hope you have lots of fun ❤️
bro was canonically an anime fan that wasn't something the fandom made up. dude literally wears glasses like kamina from gurran lagann and carries around a katana as his main weapon. that's weeb behavior if i've ever seen it
I put full trust in this video. As soon as I saw Octo in public in Las Vegas, I felt the same physical pain and shame. It radiated and I'm fucking dying of the shared cringe 😷 😂
I can’t believe a Reddit post is why I’m here. Someone mentioned “magnets” and my mind flew back to those gamzee asks like 10 years ago. Lol. That video still makes me laugh lol
Oh my god, I'm fucking 22 now and I still say "Fuckin incredible" just like that one Dave comic. I completely forgot it came from this.
I miss being young enough for a couple of years to feel like a significant amount of time...
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! It's so deeply ingrained in my vocabulary and I'd entirely forgotten that it originated from a fucking Homestuck comic
Your pfp matches your comment perfectly
Homestuck is absolutely the reason I can read and parse normally incomprehensible shit.
lmao same except it was the "sure of that best friend" from gamzee haha
This man carried the homestuck fandom
ngl Homestuck is still funny. the "earth is literally under siege by planet fucking jupiter" bit will never not be funny to me.
Mr Obama, it’s the size of fucking Texas.
I’ve had a picture of Eridan from one of your elevatorstuck vids as my older brother’s picture on my phone since 2015. Like he has a kid now but he’s still Eridan on my phone
lol that's so cool
Ahh yes the fandom I cant fucking leave
Cheers 🥂
let me out
Aint that a mood and a half
Once you're in you can't go out
👌 same.
Oh thank god we got around to addressing Elevatorstuck and the hands comic. Ye ol' classics that actually got me to continue reading Homestuck back then so I could meet the trolls.
Careful... he might steal your hands
I legit just two days ago was talking about old youtubers id watch in middle school and was like “Remember octopimp homestuck”. God guess we all was feeling that vibe
if you wanna have a real throw back i recommend watching his whole stream! ( i know it long but GOD is it worth it)
my favorite voice actor Octopimp Homestuck
Even now as I am 24 years old, your Homestuck comic dubs still have a dear place in my heart. Especially the "Harold, they're on the roof again!" one. x)
Dirk into anime IS cannon btw. There are several times he references his love of anime. Not fan made
God I still can't believe I found you through Homestuck stuff. I didn't even read HS! I just had enough friends into it that it bled over
You aren't the only one.
I was the run off that spread that shit to my sister and so persisted the dark ages we don't speak of.
Yo, me too though!
i still know absolutely nothing about homestuck but the entire ‘is this devil may cry?’ bit had me dying
I read most of it and even I can’t tell you what Homestuck is about
The real horror of this video was imagining someone eating a beanzza
CRINGE CULTURE IS STILL DEAD!! Don't be ashamed. You made a lot of people happy with your voice dubs.
Ok millennial.
@@Jane-ow7sr ? Why do you assume I'm a millennial?
@@gwenethp511 why are you getting defensive? Hm
@@Jane-ow7sr I'm not, I'm just curious what about my comment was indicative of what year range I was born into. /gen

vro said google plus
Was addicted to these videos as a child, I am now turning 19 and have started watching you again. Small website
Same, me too
I've dropped Homestuck like a hot potato since it ended but okay a lot of the Dave comics here are still pretty funny
I hope he rewatches 50% Off!
I think it holds up a whole lot better as a "whole" then the HS stuff. most of its comedy suffers from being like more "outdated" than anything else and that one monologue from naggisa about the fetishization of gay men makes up for most of that.
please that shit is comedy gold.....

all i can take away from any situation like this is: you can't fight the homestuck
I live for theses XD you were one of the first ever homestuck videos ever so thank you
His gamzee series is what got me into Homestuck
“Can we get some gog champs in chat?” I crave violence
I'm STILL in my homestuck "phase" and a major Gamzee fan so I hear him and my heart goes "wow haven't heard his voice YEARS 💕💕💕"
These were great for the time, I loved watching these while i was reading homestuck. It really was content for the times. These will also always be permanently how i hear the characters forever
This was a magical revisiting of the past, thank you for powering through the cringe for this nostalgia bomb.
octo fed me homestuck in 2013 so I could hyperfixate on omori in 2021
Its fun to look back and reminisce on things. I'm glad you made that content and I still watch some of them from time to time. Homestuck was quite literally one of the only fandoms I ever was/am apart of and your stuff really brought my friend group together. Dont be ashamed, rejoice, for you made so many of us smile.
Honestly this video is making me wanna get my cosplays out
The Dave Bro vids were my favorite, and even now I'll go back and watch them when I need some joy
Thank you for sharing your shame, Mr. Pimp. I only just learned about Homestuck this past week and between you and SarahZ, I've learned a great deal while still feeling like I don't really "know" what Homestuck is.
No one does.
read it :)
Ah Octo. You were one of my faviorite Homestuck VA, thanks for my childhood.
I want you to know back when I was reading Homestuck I most definitely matched the characters with your voice and that's how I perceived it. Thank you for making something I love come to life.
OMFG NOT GYRO IN THE BG WHEN THE INFINITE SPIRAL WAS PULLED UP
homestuck is still good and I stand by that.
true
Remember the one where the cosplayers went through the McDonald's drive through? Good times.
Pretty sure the reason people made Bro like anime is because of the glasses and behaviours being similar to Kamina from Gurren Lagann, Another shared spot could be the original Pokémon Squirtle having THE exact same glasses.

It was your Comics that got me into Homestuck in the first place
Even before playing this video i could just feel this overwhelming miasma of cringe radiating from it, i pray for everyone to survive this ordeal of a video.
thank u for allowing me to relive my teen years
Man you never made a bad Homestuck video
I never disliked these videos, im a new reader of homestuck and yet i still enjoy old stuff?
god I remember following you back when I was a Dave rp blog on tumblr and quoted SO MANY of these comics - fun to see how things have changed!
Technical terms, Octo.
SD (Standard Definition) = 480p
HD (High Definition) = 720p
FHD (Full High Definition) = 1080p
QHD (Quad High Definition) = 1440p
UHD (Ultra High Definition) = 2160p
These videos got me through high school 😭💙
you know what i still love these vids and homestuck, you and it made my childhood so dont feel so bad man
YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP DOING MAN, LET THINGS BE, SOME THINGS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE DOUGH UP
Homestuck was and is a fantastic work of fiction. It had elements of great maturity and tackled a lot of it well and in a fluid way.
I wish Hussie didn't become an Eboy though
When I found out you voiced Axl in GGS I laughed for about five minutes, this vid brings me back to when I was an annoying 14 year old
I just finished showing all of 50% to a friend I made a few years ago during my undergrad college years and this video feels like a fucking time machine to a decade ago when I was in literal middle school. Your content will forever be genuis man
I love how after all that, his YT reccomended will be stained with homestuck for months, at least.
I remember getting an autograph from you at NDK 2011 when i was a teenager lmao. My friends and i LOVED your HS stuff. Mf legend, man. We got pics with you dressed as god tier Hussie!
Thank you for taking responsibility for teens with unrestricted internet access
Bro just looks like an anime nerd though, so that's probably the reason.
I remember like, binging these videos in high school, and it's a trip to go back through them
Hey Octopimp remember when you released those ring tones on TinDeck?! I've had the same one for YEARS now as my work alarm.
That Las Vegas bit had me reeling because my friends and I have done public Homestuck cosplay as adults too
oh my god the walkie talkie one takes me BACK
AND THE FULL LIFE CONSEQUENCES
Thank you for making good memories , I’m so glad you made those videos
A train of nostalgia just ran over me
i just had an IMENSELY cursed and incredibly cringe idea and i think if i said it octo would hunt me down for it
why must everything always be so wonderful
now i know where the "sugoi" i say IRONICALLY with my friends when something goes weird or bad, i totally forgot
congratulations you revitalized homestuck
i think the bro strider anime thing is from his glassses
DIRKs glasses are a gurren lagann reference so he is def a weeb
ok even you got to admit that body butter and desperation is a masterpiece
Kk steals hands...
Oh Shit-
I know...
Magic cupcakes will never not be funny to me and my very small friend group
My roommate and I quote these videos to this day and I honestly don't know I feel about it. 😅
Please release more livescream videos!! I loved watching them when I was younger! ❤️
this is a shame we share
Oh god… the memories 😆
remember the homestrife project folks contacting you before they got C&D'd by hussie and the mspa forums were permanently nuked from orbit? fun times.
Woah wait, what, Alex very nearly got to do something Homestuck again?
@@ElFreakinCid waaaaay way years ago (before the mspa forum was destroyed), i believe the project leads were pulling folks over for character voice auditions? 2015ish i think
I remember me and the homies using the fan made Pesterchum™ program to talk to one another. 🙃
which ost is it at 1:40? i am losing my mind
oh god memories hitting me like fucking trucks rn. i don't even know how homestuck ended but god do i miss those days lol
WHERE'S ASK GAMZEE OCTO
Oh man I remember the dark times
I feel like im the only one not even slightly effected by homestuck fandom cringe like non of this is that bad

0/10 no john teasing dave with a fishing rod and doritos at the end of it
The way I was simply obsessed...
Me just genuinely sad that videos I thought were funny got taken down.
Ah yes, my many old fav videos
I can’t believe a Reddit post is why I’m here. Someone mentioned “magnets” and my mind flew back to those gamzee asks like 10 years ago. Lol.
That video still makes me laugh lol
Bruh you were the reason I got into it
I miss u octopimp 🥺
I'm right here! I'm uploading videos again!! What's to miss???
9:27 that haunts me
I thought you said your brother voiced bro
Homestuck is what makes you cool
i loved these when they came out
His kink is being kinkshamed on this page
This one is kind of…avant garde,huh?
I remember you through homestuck. - v-
This is good.
I still hear Dave when he talks. Help.
